Salim's Indian Restaurant in Charnwood

Excellent food Excellent service Excellent hospitality Best Indian restaurant Highly recommend

We have had regular outings here with a group of 10/15 people and we have always enjoyed the time we have spent under the great hospitable service. We look forward to the next outing here. Highly recommend to all.

Absolutely delicious meal with fabulous service!

Greatvfood,atmosphere and service.

Very good curry house. Friendly and good service. Cobra beer is a bit hit and miss in here I've found but the curry makes up for this otherwise 5 Stars would have been given and I don't give that 5th star easily 😉

Everything about the place was perfect. I travel the UK and and best my local hands down!! Had the king prawn dansk (immense) king prawn puri (immense) and a garlic bread which was ....you guessed it. Thank you chaps. Lovely people too I came back the next night 18/9 and was just tremendous as the first. Ordered slightly different, again, immense!! I'm going nowhere else when back here!!

Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and portions were big enough for everyone on the table

Great food nice and clean . Services was top notch. Nice an clean 🚻.

So expensive at weekend no rice with dishes Offer on weekend busy. Waited an hour nearly for starter so left wasn't happy . Was rude to a customer and told him to get out.!!

Best Indian food in a 50miles range. My son has been eating here during his years at university and I had a chance to try it on graduation day. Courteous attentive service but more importantly Indian food as it should be. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and great service. We ordered a takeaway for my birthday having been here before. It was amazing and they even set me lots of their fantastic homemade tamarind sauce. Traditional dishes taste amazing, as do the more modern styles. Having tried a lot of indian food in the area over the years, this is our new go to place. Try, you will not be disappointed.

Incredible Indian - who managed to sort me a table for 12 on a Sat at less than 24 hours notice. Fantastic food selection and taste. Brilliant service from the team.

Coming in was very anxious but the staff made me feel so welcome and were extremely friendly: The food was great first time trying this place will definitely be going back. Would recommend 100%.

Delivery was quick, but order was incorrect; Saag Aloo delivered instead of Saag Paneer. Side dishes were below the standard that I would expect. Disappointed.

I recommend McDonald’s rather than the stuff they are serving at the moment. Had a korma with no flavour. Tasted like water… made me feel quite ill after that.

What can I say Good First arrived on time Lamb nice. That's it Now Bad Rice Curry Chips cold Chappati stodgy worse Curry we have gad in a long time and a lot more expensive than other Indian restaurants. Will not be ordering again 😒

I placed an order online and paid through pall approx 20 mins before Salims opened..only to have someone ring me from EAT ALL telling me Salims cant do your order they are TOO BUSY! So why have you not put message on saying please order later too many orders at moment sorry for inconvenience.. I'm disgusted! I am or was a loyal customer and you treat us like this??..

Very nice dinner, friendly service, nice choice of curries, breads etc. No mango lassi or okra though which I usually enjoy ordering in an Indian restaurant. We appreciated the spiciness of the Madras and the garlic and coriander naan was yummy. The portions were good for sharing.

Not a patch on the previous owners Food not up to standers for the price you pay Beer very expensive Shame used to love coming here Only my opinion

Food was delicious and service excellent, would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.

Well a little gem 💎 the food is out of this world 🥰 the staff were great I can't wait to go back 👍

Love this place. Food is delicious and they deliver to our village without extra charges.

Great food, great service, and a great all-around evening meal out with my beautiful wife

Lovely food and variety but wished there were bigger sharing platters for family meals.

Amazing food, thank you. I would definitely recommend it. Would have given more stars 🌟 if possible.

First time here. But definitely not the last. Every thing was first class.

Third time here. First two were exceptional. Tonight not so. Starter and rice lovely but main course too salty and bland. I was offered another main course or a drink on the house, but when I declined that appeared to make it my fault. At 22.30 I was not ready for another main! The old waiter was just very rude - unbelievably so. Having looked at the other reviews online I think this might have changed hands since my last visit. Next door next time!

Really good food, presented well and friendly staff. We loved it.

Beautiful place for dinner with friends

This is absolutely our favourite Indian restaurant, the food is always delicious and the staff are always wonderful. Can't fault it.

Great food, lovely staff… Can’t go wrong 👍

Excellent food and service. The food was plentiful and very tasty.

I travelled from Brighton to Loughborough (about 5 hours) for a meeting and by the time I arrived it was too late to eat out and so ordered a takeaway from Salim's. It was worth the journey just to eat their food, never mind the meeting 🙂 Will definitely be going there the next time I am in Loughborough ♥️

Last had dinner there in 2020 and food and service was good. This time starters format has changed to continental style and wasn't great. On making the observation the waiter proceeded to lecture me and so did owner who kept wiping his runny nose with his hand. Main course was good. But service left a lot to be desired except for the man behind the bar/reception.

I have visited Salim’s twice and had a fantastic experience both times! The food is amazing, so much flavour and beautifully presented. The staff and waiters are friendly and i had a great time.

Tastes great! Eating something delicious right now? ...

Fantastic food with fantastic service

Excellent meal and service as always

Nicely look after you ..amazing food and great service..thanks to salim who come him self and check all ok .. definitely coming again.. with massive group.. salim .. thanks

Had a work party here, 21 of us. Food all came on time, warm and absolutely delicious. Service was superb and the staff very friendly and polite.

Don't go to "Salims" as its not the Salims you think you know. The Salims team have moved next door to Khazana. Great food, service & atmosphere

The place is really nice, and the food is great, but it's a bit on the pricey side. Nonetheless, if you're willing to spend a little extra, you'll definitely enjoy the experience!

This is no longer Salims, the amazing chefs, staff and owner are now next door at Khazana. Go here is you want the same amazing Salims food. This Salims is now owned by someone else using the old brand name.

Omg. Changed hands, same name but all else different. Holes in the wall where the previous peep removed ornaments and pictures. My Wife ordered a medium sov blanc - after 10 mins it came and was half the size of a small and full of hundreds of floaters. Here it is totally untouched. Barff. The original peeps are next door. We went to Eastern Spice. Delicious.

Visited on Valentine's night..food / service / attention to detail..all superb....would definitely recommend....

Arguably the best Indian in Loughborough and one of the best Indians I’ve had period. Would recommend it, good selection of dishes, good price and nice staff. Thanks for a nice meal guys!

Great food and staff. It's moved next door. And looks amazing.

Just had my first take away absolutely fantastic normally go eastern spice not no more. I’ll certainly be back soon!!

Amazing food, cooked to an exquisite standard. Cannot recommend this restaurant high enough. Very welcoming and quality service throughout everyone of our meals we have had here. Thank you to the team.

This is the best Indian food we have ever eaten! The food was a level above. The staff were very professional and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The curries were aromatic and the date and ginger naan was a innovative and delicious flavour combination. I live 3 hours away but I'm planning my return trip!

Walked in without an appointment, in a Friday night, and they couldn't have been more welcoming. Onion bhajis were the best I've had, and the mint sauce is amazing. Prawn Puri was delicious. Our mains were excellent as well, including a Peshwari naan that was light and fluffy and one of the best I've had. We'll definitely be back, if ever in Loughborough, again. Thank you to all the staff!

Great presentation, amazing food and very polite and attentive staff. A great experience.

I recently dined at the British Indian restaurant and I was extremely impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors and spices. I particularly enjoyed the tikka masala, which was creamy and rich, and the biryani, which was packed with fragrant spices and tender meats. The service was also top-notch, with attentive waitstaff who were more than happy to make recommendations and answer any questions I had about the menu. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with typical Indian decor and soft lighting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic British Indian dining experience.

Food was fantastic seated upstairs which was lovely will definitely be back

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in recent years. It was so good we wend back again the following night.

When we ordered the food online (7pm) it said it would take 50mins - 1hr 20 mins which is reasonable on a Saturday night. It reached 1hr 30 so we tried to call the restaurant (several times) but no one picked up. After waiting 2 hours from placing our order and still not being able to get through on the phone we decided to drive to the restaurant. At this point it had been 2 hours 10 minutes. We arrived and explained how long it had been to the staff member, they didn’t apologise just asked for the order details and they’d have a look. It was all bagged up in their heater box but just not delivered. My husband tried to call the phone number when we were in the restaurant but we couldn’t hear the phone ringing. When we complained to the staff member and requested some money back (at this point it’s 9:15pm) he said he couldn’t authorise it as there was no manager in and we needed to call back tomorrow. I explained we’ve called multiple times this evening but not got through, how can they guarantee we will get through tomorrow - he openly admitted they’d turned the phone off that evening, so this explains why we couldn’t get through to anyone for an update on our order. This is awful business practice to turn your phone off and accept too many orders to be able to handle on a Saturday night and then not allow any communication when people’s orders are late. By the time we got home it was 2.5 hours later than when we ordered and the naans were cold. We were really disappointed in every aspect from Salim’s and will never be ordering from here again.

Delivery timing is a shambles. 2 hours waiting and still not arrived. uncontactable by phone.

Best Indian restaurant in Loughborough.

Great food. No complaints at all.

Top quality Indian food, very friendly service. Highly recommended

So we have been customers of Salims for a good few years now and until recently their service has always been second to none. Their curry is excellent but the last few times we have ordered for delivery is has arrived an hour later than stated on their website, we have had the wrong food in the bag and we've needed to reheat it. Really disappointing as they really were the best curry house locally. But spending the best part of £45 for a takeaway for 2, I'd hope it'd be better.

Good food with reasonable quantity. The service was a bit rushed up l, could be because they were fully booked. Otherwise no complaints. There is a convenient car park at the back of the restaurant which is convenient!

Best curry I've had in a while! Defo try the Calcutta Karahi!

Great food and I will try them again one day. I had the curry with limes in and it was unclear whether I should eat them or not but after accidentally eating one I didn't care anymore and ate the rest. Best part of the curry to be honest!

We popped in just before a show at town hall didnt go all out just had a curry rice and naan to share and couple beers Food was really Good Staff very friendly When we arrived we were only people there when we left it was very busy We will deffo go again

Nice ambiance and service. However, food was disappointing and potion was really small for the price.

Tasty food, but the current economic environment meant the portions felt smaller and seemed more expensive. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The dessert menu was limited.

This family run restaurant will put the bigger chains such as Taste of India and Shaans on their feet. I have never had a better byriyani in a restaurant. The ambience will have Michelin star restaurants a run for their money. The staff are super friendly and make feel like you are eating at home not in a business formatted restaurant. This is the one place anyone visiting Loughborough should visit for a good time with food and drinks.

If you want delicious curry in loughborough, Salims is the one. It’s quite expensive so probably more of a treat but a very nice treat. The curry portions are a perfect size too.

Great service and food, well looked after

Gorgeous Indian, detailed menu meaning you want some of everything, busy restaurant which is always a good sign even on a Monday night.

We love Salims. Go there almost every week for curry night. Really tasty and we always have enough for leftovers the next day.

Best Indian food I've had in the UK in a year Also, very affordable. Need to try their Paneer jalfrezy if you are missing the Indian spice touch

Best curry I've had. Big statement I know! Lovely venue, excellent service and the food is to die for. First time visiting will 100% be back.. soon.

Came here for a celebration dinner...Generous portion sizes, staff were lovely and attentive, the food was delicious and really good value for money. Comfortable seats and a well taken care of restaurant. One of the waiters even went and got my bf a bowl of raita when he decided to consume an entire chilli and cried. 10/10 would recommend!

Very nice meal with excellent service

Always amazing food and service.

Amazing ! Fabulous beautiful restaurant, attentive genuine staff and amazing food full of flavour and spice. We’ll be back regularly. Can’t recommend it enough…Huge thanks to you and your team xx

What a great restaurant, service was fantastic and the food was amazing, a great atmosphere made the occasion all the more special

Delicious food. Very clean. Amazing, well dressed waiters

Good food, very flavorful and good service

Fantastic food and service would highly recommend!

Excellent service, helpful and friendly staff. The food was exceptional.

Nice!! Good level for all the indian dishes tried. The service is really nice in every moment with absolutely good attention. The only point to be considered is the lack of spices in the plates, from my point of view the dishes are too occidental flatter as the real indian ones. Place to be considered if you visit the best city in UK!

Always a great curry. Good to see Iqbal again.

Having been an Indian food virgin for 52 years, this was my 1st ever Indian meal, and I will definitely be back

They catered for a large party with good communication to arrange the menu in the days before. The food and service were both good.

A female working away alone this evening, but do love my Indian food. The staff here were very welcoming & obliging for a female on her own, and the service was polite & friendly! But … the food well that was 2nd to none, absolutely delicious food both my starter & main !! If I am passing through here again I will certainly be eating here, fabulous & tasty meal. Quality, I would highly recommend it 👍 ⭐️

One of the best curries I've tasted!

Good Indian restaurant nice food

Very tasty meal. Friendly service. I tried The Ghost... nice, some heat to it.

Very tasty food and good customer service

Delicious food and amazing service will definitely be going again.

A fantastic meal at the never disappointing Salim's. Delicious food and attentive staff. Only knocked a star off as was advised they needed the table back in 10 minutes, but no-one arrived. We'd still got wine left, so it was ideal being rushed. But they weren't rude or anything

Amazing food. Great service. Loads of repeat customers. You just have to go there.

One of the most traumatic events I've ever had. We had gone to the restaurant as a group of seven and requested just rice because we were wanting Indian food, but the server simply approached us and said, "I AM NOT RUNNING THIS RESTAURANT TO SERVE YOU RICE ALL FOR 15£." I mean, who does that? "WE DO NOT SERVE ANYTHING BELOW 20£'s," he may have politely stated. ITS BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE WE'VE ALL HAD AND WE'LL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER TWICE BEFORE ENTERING THIS PLACE!!!!!!!

So disappointed ☹️ ordered from Salim’s as we love this restaurant! However after ordering a takeaway at5.30pm and it arriving at 7.22pm all the food was barely warm and the naan bread cold!! When paying over £33 for it I don’t want or expect to have to microwave everything before we can eat. Won’t be ordering again…

Great place, lovely food, will be back very soon 👌👌

Myself and my partner came here for dinner but we were shocked by the amazing food! Always will come back!

Love this restaurant food and staff superb x
